Additional info:

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Title bar is of expected size with other fonts, but we need to fix it for Meera as well.
We know Ascent and Descent of Meera differs from other fonts, but if you look at the values you have given, even though the Descent is more Ascent is proportionally less. So how would that affect this bug?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
